Algorithms play an increasingly important role in our interactions with digital services. Companies like Spotify and Pandora use algorithms to identify mood-relevant music from massive databases of over 100 million tracks and deliver them to users through personalized playlists. To achieve this, they rely on software tools to analyze relevant musical properties—like timing (slow–fast), intensity […]

Due to massive population, rapid urbanization, and threats of climate change, China is facing serious water problems now and in the future. It is timely and relevant to establish an overall and inclusive framework for evaluating water management and research that will guide more efficient and easily integrated work between researchers and water managers. Ideally, […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Applications of quantum communication and computers range from cybersecurity to vastly increased computational capability. In most realizations of these, Quantum Memory (QM) is a key component. A promising platform for QM is Rare-Earth-Ion doped materials (characterized by their unique long-lived and well-isolated electronic states), with crystals made of molecular complexes being a recent appealing sub-category. […]

The global installed capacity of nitrogen-based fertilizers is about 190 million tons and is projected to grow by about 6 per cent by 2027. Approximately half of the world’s population relies on these fertilizers to produce food. At present, the production of urea relies on natural gas that corresponds to approximately 1-2% of the annual […]

In Colombia, advance directives are a right regulated by the health system. However, little is known about the implementation of advance directives in clinical practice and from the perspective of cancer patients. This is why this study seeks to know the experiences with the implementation of advance directives in a group of cancer patients in […]

This project aims to explore the mysteries of the human brain’s microstructure and functions by using advanced imaging technology and computational models. The researchers will collaborate between different institutions, bringing together expertise in computational neuroscience and neuroimaging from McGill university with the renowned knowledge in cognitive and brain sciences at the Max Planck Institute. The […]

Optogenetics, or the process of controlling biological processes through light and specialized proteins, is a revolutionary technology that allows for remarkable scientific advancement. Metabolic processes in the brain, and the role of glucose, are under-studied, despite their connections to a wide range of debilitating diseases. Some fluorescent protein-based biosensors are available presently for optogenetic applications, […]

Ma recherche doctorale porte sur la représentation de la mémoire et de ses fragments au sein de l’espace urbain dans l’oeuvre romanesque et autobiographique de l’écrivain turc Orhan Pamuk, un des auteurs phares de la littérature mondiale contemporaine. La facture singulière de ses écrits repose sur le déploiement kaléidoscopique de la mémoire (individuelle, familiale, collective, […]

This research project focuses on studying how a coastal community in Japan responds to a tsunami evacuation drill. The main goal is to understand and improve the community’s preparedness for such emergencies. The study will collect data through questionnaires, GPS tracking devices, and drone footage during a tsunami evacuation drill. The researchers will analyze people’s […]
